Dammit not again! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well I've been really busy the past few months with my business working 7 days a week and putting mad miles on my Yaris since my business is mobile.

Monday I'm 30 miles from home on site. I leave my car parked visible from the road because it's kind of an icon here and has my business and phone number on the side. Well it started raining and I was inside, came out and found my precious had been smacked into, messing up my drivers side fender and pushed my wheel in so bad my alignment is majorly messed up. No witness, no note, not even paint from their bumper. I'm guessing from how far up it was hit someone in a truck or SUV just barely slid into me and took off. Insurance is taking care of everything, and since it was a hit and run I only have to pay $300 to get it fixed. I was put down for a new wheel, fender, side marker light, strut, and some other stuff. They're even fixing the damaged vinyl on my door even though it wasn't related to the accident (parking lot mishap) and keeping the wheel because the only damage to it was some paint was scraped off and applying the cost of a new wheel to my deductible.

I am now driving my new girlfriend's Pathfinder (the GF is new, not the pathfinder) and really missing my Yaris. Damn thing feels like a hopped up go-kart vs. the 15 year old pathfinder.

Anyway, here is the pics. Body shop has instructions from my insurance to make this repair a priority since its my business vehicle and it's a mobile business. Also this incident has reminded me I only have one vehicle so I've taken my 250cc scooter to the locksmith shop to get a new key made after I lost my original key well over a year ago.
